Cosmic first: Astronomers observed real-time formation of black hole jets
- A remarkable black hole, located 270 million light-years away in the Draco constellation, has become the center of groundbreaking discoveries. Known as 1ES 1927+654, this supermassive black hole has exhibited unique and puzzling behavior,
The article from MSN discusses a groundbreaking observation in astronomy where scientists witnessed the real-time formation of jets from a black hole. This event was observed using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, focusing on the galaxy Messier 87 (M87), which hosts a supermassive black hole. The jets, which are streams of plasma moving at nearly the speed of light, were seen emerging from the black hole's accretion disk. This observation provides crucial insights into how black holes interact with their surroundings, particularly how they can eject material rather than just consume it. The study, published in Nature, marks the first time such a phenomenon has been observed in real-time, offering new data on the dynamics of black hole jets and their role in galaxy evolution.
